It was three o’clock in the morning when the phone rang…
It was three o’clock in the morning when the phone rang. I was sleeping well, literally exhausted after a long hard working day. I had no idea what would happen as this was the first time my phone had rung so early in the morning, because I had been woke up I decided to answer it.
Someone extremely excited was speaking to me. ‘Hey, buddy! Glad to hear from you!’ said a stranger. ‘You won't believe what has just happened to me. I found her, my true love that I’ve been looking for all my life, she is sitting in front of me at the bar, smiling and talking to someone. What am I going to do? Should I go and talk to her? But what I’m going to say?’. I thought that I'd missed some of the conversation cause my eyes were sticking together. But without any shadow of a doubt I said ‘Just do it. Go over to her, say your name and order her a drink. Then if you like each other everything will happened by itself’. I don't remember what happened next because I fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up as usual and didn’t remember anything about what had happened earlier that morning. A month later the door bell rung. I opened the door and saw my friend who just came back from the USA, but he was not alone, he was with a beautiful girlfriend. They both were smiling at me and seemed really happy. He said ‘Thanks man, without that call and your motivational words I would have never come up to this girl, We are going to get married and we came here to invite you to our wedding in few months. Thanks again.’ I was really happy for them but at the same time a little bit confused and couldn't understand what he was talking about, what call, what motivational words?...

This was a good start, just try to remember past and present tense. Keep it up! :)

making new friends!
In my opinion it's quite difficult to make new friends, especially at my age. Most twenty-two year olds already have lots of friends who they've met in high school, university or both. When you don't work and don't go to college it's really difficult to meet new people. That's why I signed up on a website called "se-faire-des-amis" which means "how to make some friends". It's for people like me who want to meet people and make some friends, it's like a dating site but you're looking for friends instead. As of now I've met three girls who are really nice, I'm going to have a drink with one of them on Wednesday and we already planned to go to the fair this month. I'm extremely excited!
This is really good, hardly any corrections needed
keep it up! :)

I'd love to answer! :)
1.Where are you from？
I'm from England!
2.How long have your country been existed? A Norman expedition invaded and conquered England in 1066.
3.What's traditional food in your country? We don't really have any traditional food but common dishes are: Shepards pie, English breakfast, Yorkshire pudding and others you might want to try are crumpets and scones. (The English population doesn't particularly like fish and chips, even though you could say it's traditional it's ranked 5th in popular fast food chains).
4.What's your favorite food in your country? Probably crumpets but there's too much to choose from.
5.What are traditional festivals in your country? The only types of festivals we normally have are music related. We have important days such as St Patrick's day, shrove Tuesday, Easter, April fools, bonfire night and rememberence day.
6.What's your favorite traditional festival and why? Probably Easter and lent as it brings a lot of people together and is a good day for all ages :)
7.Do your country have snow in winter?Yes it does, not every year and the amount varies.
8. If i go for your country for a visit ,what should i not do because of different cultures? If you visit Buckingham Palace never touch the royal guards and the rest is pretty similar to a lot of other countries.

9.What things should I prepare for if i want to go travel in your country？such as ，if i want to go to Britain，i must take an umbrella . Defiantly bring an umbrella lol, pack for all the season as we never know what the weather will be like. (It's supposed to be summer at the moment but it's currently 9 degrees and raining outside lol). Also be careful when walking around alone at night.

10.Can you tell me some places in your country where are worthy of going? Some popular tourist attractions to visitors are:
- The Eden project
- Buckingham Palace
- Natural science and history museums
- Madame Tussaud's wax museum
- Tower of London
- London Dungeons
- Alton towers theme park
and many other places! :)

Astronomy
I've been studying astronomy lately.
The most mind-blowing thing about astronomy is finding out how little and insignificant we are. Yes, insignificant. We humans believe that we are so great so inteligent when in reality we are almost nothing. For us the Earth is huge but near to the sun it's incredibly small and the sun becomes almost nothing inside the milky way. Our galaxy it's just one among trillions of others in the milky way.
It makes me wonder, are we lucky to be the only planet with life or are we the most arrogant life among the others that live on this planet.
What I think is that we are arrogant, we don't know how to live in peace, we make war, built dreadful weapons to kill our siblings, we kill the nature - the only thing that keeps us alive is that we are selfish, that's the reality for me. The only planet with intelligent life is the dumbest of all.
I love astronomy and get what your saying. This was well written, keep it up! :)

What does it matter?
When I was studying in senior high school I was a little fat and I seldom had confidence about my appearance because I was so hard-working all the time that I ate too much food and never did any exercise.
One day a boy suggested me that we could comfort each other a little, I didn't get his point at first to be honest but then I understood him immediately. What he said was "Xiangyu, you are so beautiful !" so I answered him with smile: "you cannot be more handsome!" We both laughed a lot after such stupid conversation and we continued this kind of silly behaviour for several days.
What we did was stupid, right? But it doesn't matter, that stupid thing really comforted and pleased both of us a lot.

This is really great! I found hardly any mistakes and it flowed nicely, keep up the great work! :)

People who cause their own illnesses should have to pay more for health care. Do you agree?
In my opinion health is a large concept that involves not only lifestyles and diets but also prevention, education and public politics. For example, a person who has a diet high in carbohydrates and fats might not know that it is bad for their health or because they could not afford to buy vegetables, fruits and meat. In that case, it would be a lot more difficult to cook healthier meals.
I think it is a political responsibility to care for citizens and to negotiate with supermarkets and producers for a better price of the products that there are selling to their consumers.
On the other hand, lifestyles can also be a consequence of the education system. For instance if people are sedentary it could be due to ignorance because they never learned how important it is to maintain a healthy body and to practice sport or do physical exercises at least every other day.
To summarise, I do not agree with the postulate that says that people who have unhealthy habits must pay more for health care, I think that it should not be like this, because it does not take all aspects of the individual into account.
This is really great! only a few small mistakes, keep it up! :)

JUST A DIARY ON Apr.26th (Writing about birthday messages)
I would like for someone to correct my diary. Could you do that for me, please?

JUST A DIARY ON Apr.26th

What would I do without my precious friends? My life is better because of them. It's not too much to say, I have a variety of friends. A friend I have helps me out immediately if I have any trouble. Another friend of mine has the same wavelength as me. All of us didn't get to know each other intentionally. On my friends birthday I like to send him birthday mail, this is normally through social media or E-mail to send them some kind of message. They showed me a lot of things when I was young but now I don't get to see them as much because I have been busy with work, so I have to keep in mind to send them a message
This is really good! keep it up :)

Hi, 1) This sounds good to me, another way you can say it is "An article about Brazil's meat producing scandal" either way would be fine. 2) It would be best to say "That car's gas tank cap is off" and "My phone's colour is black" 3) In that context something like this should be okay to use "I can keep you company at the theatre, but opera is going too far" 4) "Two dogs barking is never the same" "One dog's bark is never the same as the other's" "This isn't either of yours car?" Hope this helps, good luck! :)

My first diary.
This is my first diary and my first post. Today I went to school and had 3 classes. The first class was electromagnetism-first-practice, in this class I solved some questions. These questions were a little difficult for me, but we could a read textbook so I could solve them. The second class I had was complex function theory, It's a type of math. Even though our teacher wrote on the black board his description was very complicated. After his description we had a small test, there was five questions but I could only solve three of them. because there was not enough time for me to solve such difficult questions. The third class was differential equation this class' teacher was very funny. His way of speaking was very characteristic. I was very surprised at first but now I'm accustomed it.

After school, I went to my part-time job. I work at an "Izakaya" which means Japanese pub. I got
back home at 22:30 pm. I'm very sleepy but I can sleep until 9:00am which means I can sleep for 8 hours.

I want to improve my English skills so I decided to write a diary in English as many as possible.
Thank you for reading my first diary I would be very glad if you can touch up this sentence,
Good night.

As Katherine's already mentioned is it's better to write the whole number out but I wouldn't worry about that too much. I would say to work on the use of full stops and commas, try reading your work out loud and whenever you need to take a short breath that's where the comma should go and whenever you need to take a long breath is where the full stops should go. You can also use words such as "and" instead of a comma as these have the same effect. Hopefully this makes sense
It's very good so keep it up! :)
